2013SOUL

A passion for excellence.

Whether it’s a watch, a suit, a dress, a smartphone or an automobile, design is what grabs your attention and distinguishes one brand from another.

Since 2006, when celebrated European automotive designer Peter Schreyer joined Kia as its Chief Design Officer, the look of Kia has taken on a whole new, dynamic dimension that has garnered over 30 design awards in competitions around the world. Honoured by Automobile Magazine with its prestigious “2012 Man of the Year” award, Schreyer says, “A car is a dynamic object. And I think it needs to show that it is a dynamically moving object.”

Peter Schreyer,Chief Design Officer

Evolution by revolution.

Forget about trying to define the 2013 Kia Soul. It’s a leap ahead. All-modern styling with a wide, confident stance and available front LED accent lights and LED taillights that set it apart from the rest. Simply put, in a world where one car looks exactly like another, there’s no comparison to Soul.

Soul is about being unique, expressing your personality and never surrendering to Bland. Soul is different, looks different

aIRbaG & SEaT-bELT SENSORS. Special onboard sensors measure the severity of a crash impact and determine whether the front seat occupants are wearing their seat belts. Within milliseconds, this information is used to determine and trigger an optimal level of airbag inflation.11

Soul’s active safety systems are engineered to help you avoid collisions and its occupant protection technologies are designed to help minimize injuries when a collision is unavoidable. Dual front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags and side curtain airbags for both front and rear seating positions are managed by an advanced sensor system.11 Standard active front headrests help protect against whiplash injuries in certain collisions. Soul wraps all of this – and you – in a protective, high-strength, steel-reinforced body.

With confidence comes understanding.

ELECTRONIC STabILITY CONTROLESC monitors Soul’s response to your throttle and steering inputs in tight corners and evasive-manoeuvre situations. If and when input and response are out of sync, ESC briefly takes over to restore stability through precise brake and engine-control interventions.

HILL-STaRT aSSIST CONTROLTo help keep you from rolling backward when starting off on a steep hill, HAC automatically maintains braking pressure for up to two seconds after you take your foot off the brake pedal – enough time for engine power to move you forward.

VEHICLE STabILITY maNaGEmENTVSM adds steering direction control capability, assisting when appropriate to further stabilize the vehicle. It helps you regain control and return the vehicle to its intended path.

aNTI-LOCK bRaKING SYSTEmABS provides the foundation for Soul’s active safety systems. It helps provide greater vehicle control when stopping in difficult conditions, such as wet, slippery or snow-covered roads.

FRONT aCTIVE HEadRESTSIn the event of certain rear collisions, Soul’s active front headrests move forward, helping to reduce the likelihood of whiplash injuries.

LaTCH SYSTEmSoul is equipped with an industry-standard LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) safety system that makes it easier to securely install a compatible child safety seat in either of the rear outboard seating positions.
